Keyboard and mouse not recognised after updates

[bongorider]

I'm using kubuntu on an acerbic aspire one netbook, I ran system updates and it said 673 updates available. So I started them all, after a hundred or so it advised me to reboot, so I reboot and can't log in because key lard and mouse don't respond. If I boot to recovery command line he keyboard is ok, but I don't know what to do from there. Any help?

Maybe they are better solutions, but I would try to use an older version of kernel at Grub menu. I was once in the similar situation with the same netbook and I had to wait with an older kernel version until brand new kernel version repaired the problem.

From the recovery command line, type:

dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Re: Keyboard and mouse not recognised after updates

All the old kernels have the same problem

I tried those commands, the first gives no errors or output

apt-get -f install says: 0 upgraded 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 552 not upgraded, along with some ignoring file errors

apt-get update just gives a list of :W failed to fetch errors

apt-get upgrade says 461 upgraded, 0 newly installed , 0 to remove and 91 not upgraded

then tells me I need 26.1mb y/n
then I get a ton of fail to fetch errors again and it suggests I try again with --fix-missing

I tried with --fix-missing, it replaced 6 files then finished, rebooted and same problem.

I think judging by this there is no network connection either
